September 1, 2007 -
Karlsruhe, Germany - story and photos by Uwe Betker
On September 1st, four weeks after his last boxing show, Juergen
Lutz, the man who discovered the female boxing legend Regina
Halmich, presented another female boxing contest in Karlsruhe,
Germany. As before, the show was an open-air event, presented by
Regina Halmich and as before most matches were sparring fights.
The audience on the Europaplatz could watch four regular fights
in which German boxers encountered French fighters. One could
not help though, but be surprised at some of the outcomes. In
super flyweight class Pia Mazelanik (4-2-1) found herself up to
Loret Ikufu. The smaller fighter Ikufu threw more punches
and put her opponent under pressure right from the start.
Mazelanik, in turn, found her pace only late but then managed to
land the harder punches. She was declared the winner on points.
A draw would have been a fairer result; The match between
Stefanie Penkwitt (12-1-0) and Lucy Mairot took a similar course.
Penkwitt was technically the better boxer, but had difficulties
coping with the energy and willpower of the French flyweight
Mairot. Penkwitt landed the harder punches but she was too
passive and she paused too often and too long, which got her
into trouble more than once. After four rounds she was declared
the winner, a decision that was booed by the crowd. Again, a
draw would have been a more suitable result. In contrast, the
draw which Lena Ersahin (2-1-0) got away with was a bizarre
decision. The featherweight Ersahin was clearly inferior to the
much taller Keninde Obarek. Again and again Ersahin went
into yet another clinch with her opponent and got just another
beating. At the end of the fight the lump on her forehead, the
bruises and swelling around her cheekbones and a black eye made
it quite clear who had taken the beating in this fight. The
only match whose outcome was entirely undisputed was the fight
between Özlem Asiye Sahin (1-0-0) und Elsa Capell. To take
on the much taller Capell, Sahin, whose actual division is light
flyweight, had to go up a weight class. Sahin completely
dictated the match from start to finish demonstrating the
technical deficits of her opponent. In the second and third
round the much smaller Sahin almost knocked Capell out, but the
tough and strong-minded French fighter managed to remain on her
feet. It will be fascinating to watch the further professional
development of Sahin, who is at the beginning of her career.
Anyway, it does not seem too early to say that she is one of the
biggest talents of female boxing in Germany.
